I have a feeling that Billy Shazam

is not gonna make it out alive.

Oh. my god.

That's so so morbid. How did you know?

That's terrible, guys.

How did you know?

[dramatic music]

[Hespera] Champions of this realm can do nothing

to stop us.

You are very menacing.

I just want you to know that.

Hey, everybody, I'm Zachary Levi.

I'm Meagan Good.

I'm Adam Brody.

I'm Jack Dylan Grazer.

Asher Angel.

I'm Ross Butler.

I'm D. J. Cotrona.

And I'm Grace Caroline Currey.

I'm Rachel Zegler.

And I'm Helen Mirren.

And I'm Lucy Lu.

And we are the cast of Shazam! Fury of the Gods.

We're gonna discuss some fan theories-

About Shazam! Fury of the Gods.

Warning, spoilers ahead.

Yeah, so you know- Maybe.

Just get ready to be potentially spoiled.

This is from Adam Lance Garcia

who's verified- [Zachary laughs]

Shazam! Fury of the Gods' Theory -

Dr. Sivana and Mister Mind

[and the Monster Society of Evil]

are the film's REAL villains.

I mean... Discuss.

It's a hot take.

And I could understand why people might go there

because Dr. Sivana was our villain.

We did have a little tag at the end of the movie

where he was talking to Mister Mind

so I see where people could go there.

I don't think that's what happens.

Let me just say, for my money,

I would want a two-part epic Avenger-style thing

about Mister Mind.

I want him to be the bad guy- The Thanos.

The entire- Yeah.

I want a worm with a infinity gauntlet.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, totally.

Tsukene19 says, I do not believe that it is Olympus.

I think that it will be where Atlas is holding the sky

up from the earth.

The dragon, I bet, will be named Ladon

and golden apples was Hera's.

And the Hesperides were said to guard the grove

where they were grown.

The apples were said to give immortality

to any who ate them.

Interesting.

Well, we didn't end up eating them did we?

Yeah, I didn't eat apples in this movie

but when I did in another one, it did not end well.

Oh, no.

No, if you know what I mean.

[Lucy Lu] A lot is in there.

Pretty good argument for Ladon and golden apples.

Yeah, they're guarding the grove where they're grown.

Yes, this is someone who knows Greek mythology, isn't it?

And that's one of my lines

is about how Ladon protects the garden where they grow.

Yeah, yep. So listen.

Pretty good, Tsukune.

Yeah, Tsukune nailed it.

Okay. Nerdster says, Notice how the burnt marks

are spreading more in his suit throughout the trailer,

making him look more like Black Adam.

Maybe foreshadowing Billy getting corrupted

by evil or something.

Jack, what do we think about that?

You know, I think you might be looking into it too much.

The burn marks are from fighting a dragon.

I mean, maybe he's got some evil thoughts going on, like,

'cause he's having to kill a lot of things.

And this is new for him.

He's still a 17, 18-year-old kid.

Exactly. So...

you have to keep that in mind.

But I mean, do we understand where they're coming from?

Of course, I absolutely do.

And Black Adam just came out and I get it.

But don't overthink it. But don't-

But no, the answer is no.

Yeah, sorry.

Jonathan Gedeon, Gideon says,

Sad theory of Shazam.

I have a feeling that Billy Shazam

is not gonna make it out alive.

Oh, my gosh. Three worry faces.

Oh, my gosh.

Look at the little emojis. Wow...

That's... brutal.

Oh, my god.

That's so morbid. How did you know?

That's terrible, guys. How did you know?

What has led you to believe this?

Why would our namesake,

our main guy- Our brother!

The big red cheese.

Why would he not make it out alive?

Maybe three Greek goddesses coming down,

throwing lightning at him,

a massive dragon trying to destroy him.

This is a theory that might be closer to reality

but we can neither confirm nor deny these allegations.

It's a decent theory based on-

That's a really good point.

The information that Jonathan has, so-

That is really sad though.

But hey, you know what?

It would give us more screen time.

Jonathan, do you want a job

writing for Shazam? Have you ever been a writer?

Because we get his cut of paycheck.

Disown.

Disown! What?

Everybody loves Billy.

It's for the family.

It's all about...

family! [fist thuds and echos]

This is from ReverseGoblin.

The reason why WW, Wonder Woman, has a cameo in Shazam 2,

is because Rachel Zegler's daughter of Atlas character

will end up going down the path of becoming Wonder Girl

as Diana sees her potential.

As n the comics, she has multiple origins.

This would just be another.

That would be really cool. That's great.

I would love that. I can see you in a sort of

cute little Wonder Girl outfit.

I know.

I want the- The golden lasso.

Yeah, definitely.

And I've teamed up with Gal before .

It would be cool.

WW... WG. [laughs] Yes, the WG.

Is it in your future?

I would love that.

Reverse Goblin has a kind of a great idea.

Send that to James Gunn and Peter Safran.

Stat. Yeah, right now.

Tawky Tawny will appear in the film

and help Billy get over his identity crisis.

In the trailer, we see he tried to explain his problems

to a pediatrician which didn't work out.

So Tawky Tawny will appear later on

and help Billy realize who he is

and how he's more than just another superhero.

I have a question.

Who's Tawky Tawny? Yeah.

Well, Tawky Tawny is basically

a magical Tiger person. Yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Who is Canon from the comic books

who we kind of allude to in the first film

with a little stuffed animal.

Exactly.

[dart thuds]

I want the tiger.

But we don't really get into in this film...

or do we? [laughs maniacally] Or do we?

You're never gonna know unless you watch the movie.

Ravager48 says, Something tells me

they'll have Black Adam in a post credit scene

setting up their fight in Shazam 3, I hope.

You guys know if we fought Black Adam, we would win.

Yeah, that's right. We're a family.

A fa- you know, yeah.

I've been thinking about that, too.

To combat the idea, Black Adam maybe has had more time

to harness his power rather than Shazam.

Shazam still, you know, he is like finding his footing.

That's where we take off, that's where we pick up

in the beginning. We're a kid.

We're a teenager. Yeah.

But there's also more of us. Right.

How many of us are in the family?

Seven, right? Seven.

Yeah. We're unstoppable.

Black Adam is the natural villain.

So this is just a fantasy on their part.

I mean, I wouldn't mind going up against that whole group.

We have a whole hall of doors

with multiple dimensions that we can go into.

So the potentiality of our bad guys that we go on-

that we would go up against in the future

are endless. Is immense.

So this would be one of the options.

@ManofTomorrow22.

I have a possible theory regarding the Wizard

and how he's alive.

I believe the wizard that we saw in the first Shazam film

was a magical clone that the real Wizard-

Clones are magical? Created...

because he was imprisoned by the Gods.

Like a magical clone that the real Wizard created.

Wow.

That's like some chatGPT-Harry Potter mashup stuff.

That's not a bad theory. Not a bad theory.

Why does everyone think everyone's cloned now?

Well I mean, we are living in Black Mirror times.

Have you read the news?

Have you seen what A.I. is doing right now.

Maybe that's what it is.

Maybe the wizard created an A.I.-

a chatGPT version of himself.

Do you wanna know the truth?

It came to life. [laughs]

I'm not really Meagan.

What?!

That's a thing. Clones are scientific.

I mean the wizard's doing science.

He's a magic clone.

I've just never heard the word clone-

Okay, I don't think the wizard has his genes

in a Petri dish and he's looking

to clone himself. I'm just saying,

clone is a strange nomenclature to use in a realm of magic.

That's all. That's true.

Interesting theory.

[ Grace] I don't know if we have an answer for that.

Yeah, it's cool though.

It's a cool theory

I don't know about that. It's not bad.

It's not bad.

This is from Reelando Lorica.

I would like to point out a theory

on what could be the main goal

of Hesper and her two sisters.

I think their goal is to take away

all the powers of the old gods

from the Shazam family

to revive or resurrect someone or something.

If you know the mythology,

you might got an idea of who it might be.

Kind of nailed it.

Kind of nailed it.

Yes, absolutely. I disagree. [laughs]

Reelando nailed it.

That is actually-

They stole our powers so we need to get them back.

I'm went furious.

And we are so furious, ergo the title.

We're also-

And then Helen's fast and furious.

Yes.

Golden Gaming 101.

What I loved about the first movie

was that it was a kid getting powers and having fun.

This movie looks like he's going to deal

with his powers emotionally and still have fun.

And I'm all for it.

That's a great-

I think that's great. That's great.

That's fabulous.

Might be the best one when we've read.

That's just a very positive-

It's like a review of the movie.

They saw already.

Great review on Rotten Tomatoes.

We expand on the emotionality of every character.

You see a lot.

We got a deeper glimpse

into all of their lives. True.

Especially Billy, yeah.

Azrael Otsuzuki says, I want Wonder Woman in this.

Great.

She is the daughter of Zeus connected with the Greek Gods,

cousins to the daughters of Atlas.

We didn't make that connection, did we?

What if I just was like, Gal, you're my cousin.

I'd be interested to see her siding with the guy

who has her father's powers.

And this is a battle between Gods.

She should be here.

Or maybe even if a villain

that sides with the the Daughters of Atlas

because of a spell.

Or the fact that she doesn't want children

to have God-like powers.

This could actually happen

because I saw someone who looks like Diana in this trailer

from her back.

And that was not Gal Gadot by the way.

That was a body double 'cause Gal Gadot had just had a baby.

I mean that's a pretty good-

I want Wonder Woman in this too.

Well, I think what's interesting is that the Greek Gods

and all those mythologies were the DC comics

of the era, weren't they? Of 2000.

They're the stories that people would tell each other

about these amazing creatures

who could do incredible things.

So the sort of mashing together of Greek mythology

and the sort of modern idea of Wonder Woman-

I also like the fact that, you know,

there are a society of women that are powerful

and they're warriors. Right.

And sort of the idea that we are goddesses.

And we're powerful.

And we're warriors.

Guys, thank you so much

for submitting all of these wonderful wacky fan theories

about Shazam! Fury of the Gods.

I think some of them were pretty-

Kind of close. Kind of close.

Pretty close.

Some of them a little off. Yeah.

There were some reaching ones, but there were some ones

that I could actually see happening.

I would venture to say that some... may happen.

Some of them might just be straight up stolen script pages.

What's amazing is how people study it.

I know.

I thought that they had some great ideas

and some of them could become writers.

We particularly love anything related to Wonder Woman,

didn't we? Yeah, that was really good.

And us, put more us in things.

[all laugh]

Freddy Freeman.

Billy Batson.

The delicious one.

We out.
